Hiring a Great Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Having fought on the behalf of seriously injured motorcyclists for over a decade, I know how unique motorcycle accident cases are. While I also represent victims injured in auto accidents as well as other kinds of accidents, I have discovered that motorcycle cases have distinctive characteristics and cannot be adequately fought with just any kind of attorney. It is of the utmost importance to hire the best attorney for your case, but that is certainly not an easy task unless you know exactly what to look for. Due to the unique circumstances and lingo involved in motorcycle accident cases, a very specific lawyer is required to handle these types of cases. Here are two of the most important traits to look for when choosing an attorney for your case:

Experience Fighting Motorcycle Cases. For the most part, juries come into motorcycle accident cases with a bias against the motorcyclist. The insurance companies know this, and will try to make liability an issue if the case goes to court. To level the playing field against this strategy, you need to have a savvy lawyer with experience fighting motorcycle accident cases. It is important for the lawyer to make your side of the story and the facts involved as clear as possible for the jury. The damages from a motorcycle accident make for another unique aspect of the case. Injuries are usually much more substantial, as is the pain and suffering that comes with them. To find an attorney with the experience you need, first you should narrow it down to those who specialize in personal injury cases. After you have done that, you can narrow the search even further by researching lawyers in your area online. When you schedule a meeting with one of them, be sure to ask about their experience in motorcycle accident cases.

Experience on a Motorcycle. You need a lawyer who understands exactly what you are going through. This means someone who has experience on a motorcycle and knows the thrills and fear that come along with riding one. I have no doubt that my many years of riding a motorcycle have made me better prepared to represent motorcycle accident victims. I can paint a better picture to the insurance companies and jury because I know what it feels like to be on a motorcycle. There is lingo that is specific to motorcycles, and it is crucial for an attorney to understand what it means and how to use it. An attorney that has experience on a motorcycle can sympathize with what you are going through and use their knowledge to get you the money you deserve.

What To Do After a Motorcycle Accident

I have seen far too many people ruin their accident case before it even gets started because of what they did following the crash. Nobody expects to be hit by a negligent or distracted driver, but it happens, and it is best to be prepared for the worst. Having been in a motorcycle accident myself, I fully understand the process of being a victim in an accident, and how disorienting it can be. The actions you take after the crash, though, can go a long way in determining whether or not you get the money you need from filing an insurance claim. Here are some of the things you need to do:

Report Complaints thoroughly: If you will want to recover money to pay for your medical bills that resulted from the crash, then it is crucial that you report all injuries that it caused. Attempting to be a tough guy by not reporting your injuries will do harm to both your case and your health. Thoroughly communicate your injuries with your doctor so he or she can diagnose what the issue is and how to treat it. It can be very useful later on in the claims process if you have a journal that keeps track of how you felt throughout the process. Motorcycle accidents can result in very serious head trauma, and if this is the case with a loved one of yours, then you should take down the daily journal for them. The facts of the accident and resulting injuries can be lost in the mind of someone who has endured a serious crash, so this can be a huge help for their claim.

Preserve the evidence: Taking photographs of any evidence of the accident and injuries is important in any successful motorcycle accident claim. Photographic documentation will show people who are not as familiar with the aftereffects of an accident that you truly did suffer bad injuries. Taking pictures of the accident scene will help prove fault, which is essential in any injury claim. Also make sure to keep the clothing you wore, and any other remnants of the accident that can show a jury how bad it actually was.

Get Witnesses: It can be a huge boost to the victim in a motorcycle accident case to have witnesses testifying on his or her behalf. It is no longer your evidence versus the at-fault driver’s evidence; it is a neutral third party’s evidence versus the at-fault driver’s evidence. Witnesses can be anywhere in an accident, including in other cars, on the sidewalk, in restaurants and many other places. If you can, check your surroundings for anybody that may have seen the accident happen.

Over 2,000 Washington motorcycle accidents occur every year, and for the most part, it is not the motorcyclist that causes them. Making the right decisions and collecting the necessary evidence after an accident is critical for anyone who is unfortunate enough to be involved in one.

Do You Need Emergency Road Service With Your Insurance Company?

What exactly emergency road service is, the way it operates, should you simply make use of the auto club’s service, and other concerns. Emergency road service had been the unique domain of auto clubs, for example, the American Automobile Association (AAA) – not anymore.

The Way Emergency Road Service Functions

Emergency roadside assistance gives you somebody to contact 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, if you were to find yourself in a bad situation on the road. They rapidly dispatch the nearest, most competent service provider to exactly where ever you are.

Emergency roadside assistance is actually covered similarly to towing. Emergency roadside assistance is paid out per event at a moderate sum. You may have emergency roadside assistance coverage or you do not. Check your insurance policy or call your agent to find out.

Emergency roadside assistance assists on towing services that includes usually around $100.00 coverage per incident. Incidents include a towing allowance to the closest service facility. It aids battery jump starts when you have a dead battery.

It allows minor roadside changes when need occurs. It provides flat tire assistance when you need your tire changed. It delivers fuel. It will cover removing a car from a ditch, mud or snow as long as it is accessible from a normally traveled roadway. It has a lockout service when you lock your keys in the vehicle.

Auto Club or Insurance Coverage?

Emergency roadside assistance is usually very affordable. It is furthermore, really helpful. However, if you’re already a member of an auto club that provides emergency roadside assistance, there’s no need to have it on your insurance too. Depending on your area, auto clubs may offer a better roadside assistance program anyway.

If you’re looking at the coverage, check out the auto club first. But if you don’t have an auto club membership, Emergency Roadside Service is very affordable with an insurance company. When checking with your insurance company, be sure to ask what their Emergency Road Service will cover.

Questions To Ask Your Insurance Company

– Can they supply gasoline when you run out?
– Can they tow your vehicle if it’s required?
– Is their towing protection different from an auto club?
– What if you break down within the rural region, or even out of state?
– How many states does the insurance span?
– Which drivers will the insurance cover?

Before trouble strikes, it is important to select a roadside assistance provider that fulfills your needs. Old vehicles tend to break down on the street compared to more vehicles so it’s best to have older cars covered.

Experts recommend weighing your choices. “Be sure it covers the person, not the vehicle,” says Doug Mclendon, director of roadside programs for AAA. Look for a versatile program that provides benefits to suit your personal needs and will not leave you with out-of-pocket expenses right after a breakdown. Think about all these types of elements before signing up for emergency roadside assistance with your insurance company.
